For nearly 100 years, unidentified remains in San Bernardino
County California have been buried in one of the county’s many cemeteries.
During the 2015 field season, students will learn the fundamentals of forensic
archaeology and forensic anthropology by exhuming these individuals and
assisting in the collection of samples for DNA extraction. Students will
excavate burials in forensic contexts, perform preliminary analysis of the
remains and help collect remains to send for further laboratory analysis before
documenting and reburying the remains. For more information visit the field
school website.
